新奇事件簿 日本将建任天堂主题公园

A new theme park will open in Osaka, Japan. Universal Studios Japan (USJ) is going to build a new attraction called Nintendoland. It will be full of rides based on Nintendo's favourite characters. A USJ spokesperson said Nintendoland would be ready in 2020. It is scheduled to open in time for the Tokyo Summer Olympics. The new park will cost $351 million to build, which is nearly $100 million more than it cost to make the Wizarding World of Harry¹ Potter park at Universal Studios in Orlando, Florida. Nintendo said the new park would, "include major attractions and feature Nintendo's most famous characters and games". It added that: "More details will be announced in the future."

大阪将建主题公园。日本环球影城将建“Nintendoland”主题公园。游乐设施将以游戏角色为基础。环球影城发言人表示，“Nintendoland”预计将于2020开业。按日程安排，它将赶上东京奥运会。建造资金达3.51亿美元，比起佛州奥兰多的“哈利波特的魔法世界”，投资超近1亿美元。任天堂表示，公园将建大型游乐项目，并将囊括经典游戏人物。更多细节将在未来陆续公布。

Nintendo has not said any more about which of its brands will be part of Nintendoland. Many fans predict that they will get to interact² with their favourite characters, like Mario and Luigi, Link and Zelda, and Pokemon. Fans also hope the new rides will be for people of all ages, from toddlers to pensioners³. Osaka resident⁴ Mika Hashimoto said: "I'm so excited that this theme park will be built." She said many other characters (such as Harry Potter, Mickey Mouse and Hello Kitty) had a theme park, so it was good that people could have the chance to go to a Nintendo attraction. She added: "It is about time fans of Nintendo had a place to go and have fun. I can't wait for Nintendoland to open."

然而，任天堂未透露具体哪些经典人物。据粉丝预测，像马里奥&路易、林克&塞尔达、口袋妖怪等都会出现。粉丝希望建造适合各个年龄段的游乐设施。大阪市民北川美香表示：“能在这里建造主题公园，我感到非常高兴。”她称许多经典人物（例如哈利·波特、米老鼠、Hello Kitty等）都有主题公园，人们还有机会去任天堂主题园。她还表示：“任迷们终于能够迎来自己的主题园了，我已经迫不及待了。”
